    Jim, really appreciate you. And I'm ever envious of where you live! At closest I esud to be an hour and 4 mins from the roadside pullout - I had it down 😃 A bit tougher these days from Cleveland, but on occasion I'm fortunate enough to indulge. I always enjoy the window in from those who are...

    Appreciate it Rex! I always try and remember these are predators we're chasing.

    Pat you're in very good hands with Rod and Rex. What I love is there's more than one way to do this stuff and find success. Still hope to cross your path in Oroville! (Zak, catch you again soon!)

    Appreciate that! Funny sometimes what makes for success, and how simple yet unintuitive it can be. I'd fall somewhere in the middle of you and your buddy - I'll do it all day long because I know it works, but inside I'm anything but calm and patient out there. So it turns the easy low hanging...

    Ah man, I'm an easy mark! I almost chimed in about leaving extra space around your feet and everything 😆 But yeah, these days I'm sort of torn about my old sock trick after quitting the roundie in favor of a Fishcat. Nice being able to reach my own feet but I got lazy with the socks, so I'm...

    Jeff, much appreciated - I'm envious if you're on Whidbey, some great nearby options and a little salt to mix in if you're inclined (btw if you haven't chased searun cutts, I still think it's way underserved in a lot of areas, and well worth it!) Thank you for the suggestions as well. You'll...

    Thanks Sam. Pass Lake and its fathead minnows did that to me. Really fun place to pitch them along the banks.

    Thanks for the kind words :) Myself, I tend to use the sinker more for streamers, partly since I prefer faster retrieves. Since I use the smaller nymphs near the surface I have good luck running those off a floater, mostly at a slow troll when midges are popping and taking flight. Safety wise...

    Appreciate that, Brian. Good catch, should be 2X leader and 3X tippet. You can tell I went cross-eyed from all the proofreading, will see if our esteemed mods can make an edit (y)
